Abstract  

The corrosion behavior of Corten-A weathering steel in two polluted marine atmospheric environments at coastal cities Qingdao and Wanning was simulated by cyclic immersion accelerated test. The corrosion kinetics, corrosion morphology, corrosion products and the correlation between results acquired form the accelerated corrosion test and the outdoors exposure test were studied by weight-loss method, SEM technique, X-ray diffraction analysis, electrochemical measurement techniques and grey correlation analysis. The results showed that the corrosion degree of Corten-A steel increased first and then decreased with the increasing of NaCl concentration in the simulated solution, while the solution with 5% (mass fraction) NaCl presented the greatest corrosion effect on Corten-A steel. It follows that results of the indoor accelerated corrosion tests are well correlated with those of the outdoor exposure in natural marine atmospheric environments. Besides, models suitable to describe the corrosion process of Corten-A weathering steel in the simulated polluted marine atmospheric environments of Qingdao and Wanning were established respectively as: TQD=251.214 t 0.718, TWN=217.498 t 0.719.
